A team leader felt worried as favonovel.com said, “Mr. Mayo, this method is feasible but too risky. Can we afford it? If it fails, all of us will be the sinners of the country!”
Vincent had the same thought too. But, did they have a choice?
At this time, Thomas smiled faintly and reassured Vincent. He said, “Mr. Braun, I actually have a backup solution. It won’t be as simple as worsening their conflicts and forcing them to change their upper management.”
Vincent’s eyes lit up, and favonovel.com asked, “What’s the backup solution?”
Thomas replied, “Worsening their conflicts isn’t my real purpose right now. What I really want is to make Giovanni and the gang feel hopeless before we provide them with a little hope. This is what people mean by the carrot and stick approach. When that happens, hope will be like a silver lining for them. I believe that Giovanni will try his best to grasp it. Then, I’ll just need to do a little something to make Giovanni put all his attention on Bernard! We’ll be the audience watching them fight the entire time, and we also can’t let Bernard benefit alone.”
Vincent curiously asked, “Mr. Mayo, what do you plan on doing to make Giovanni and Bernard turn against each other?”
Thomas smiled. “It’s still not convenient to talk about the method yet, because it’s really despicable. Nonetheless, please trust me, Mr. Braun. I can definitely quell the disturbance in the Southland District.”
Vincent closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Since things had progressed to this point, favonovel.com had no other options.
He had to do this!
He instantly opened his eyes and gave a command, “Just do as Mr. Mayo says. We mustn’t compromise with those criminals who dare to challenge the government’s limits! Do they think that the law will be useless against them because they’re such a big group? Do they think that they can get away with it if they cause a stir?”
“Well, I’ll let them know that I’ll punish whoever causes a stir! Replace all of Art Trading Corporation’s lackeys!”
He gave the command in a resolute and strict tone.
All the team leaders in the meeting room stood up and loudly answered, “Yes, Sir!”
Then, all the team leaders left the meeting room one after another and did everything according to Thomas’ plan. They swore to fight Bernard and Giovanni until the end, and they would not allow any compromises.
The next two hours were considered the most turbulent and chaotic hours in the Southland District’s history. The government strictly demanded that everyone marching on the street leave. Otherwise, anyone left would be arrested!
Besides, the government came up with a blacklist of companies. Companies that appeared on the blacklist had been targeted, and they would have their upper management replaced by the government. The government informed that all other enterprises, companies, families, and groups who intended to replace the upper management of the listed companies could take the initiative to apply for a position or make a policy supporting it.
In the beginning, everyone just observed the situation. Later on, everyone could not bear to sit still anymore because the offer was too tempting, and all of them applied for it.
All businessmen were profiteers. The companies that used to be suppressed by Art Trading Corporation finally found a way to vent their anger. All of them stepped forth and replaced the big companies that Art Trading Corporation had controlled. If one of them could not replace a company, ten companies would cooperate to replace it.
In a short time, the major economic backbones that Art Trading Corporation had controlled were distributed between these companies, and the pie became smaller. An invisible war was spreading in the Southland District. Although there was no gunpowder, everyone could feel the cruelty of “war”!
